Appleseed [Blu-ray]

But seeing that the sequel was a Massive FUBAR in hitting all the Wrong notes as compared to the first one I had to take that into account. 'Vexille' is the best Movie (of the only three made)that group ever did in regards to a complete story but 'Appleseed' was a great Manga and the telling of it here was a decent bit of entertainment.Only rent the sequel to see the Massive flipping FUBAR that it turned into when the creators got it into their heads that Anime character designs where too wrong and "realer" designs would bring in more audiences. Look no further then the PS2 'Xenosaga prt 2' where they did just that to incredible profit vacuums in Japan and America for it. Killing the expected SEVEN PART "SAGA" and wimpering out with a sympathy bye-bye third and LAST game. Also; deciding that the original stories that followed the Manga was too "immature" so they made a completely divorced carbon copy of the characters in it.Buy this Blu-ray version of 'Appleseed' despite the terribly stupid menu with all those annoying screechy bings for it is the best way to fully enjoy this movie!

Absolute dribble there is no authenticity here the way they introduce characters into the plot and the lack of originality to the plot twists is horrible. This is only suitable or maybe early teenagers who lack standards in what they watch.

Visually exciting movie. CGI and Shade Shell animation mixed very well and the syfy storyline about the future of human kind and bioroids (sorta like clones constructed by genetic structuring science) living in a Utopian society until a stray military faction wants to destroy the bioroids because they can't trust them. Lots of action Robot killer, Mecha suits, and a real twist near the end that could spell the future of humans and bioroids.I saw it when it came out in selected theatres, bought it on DVD in collectable tinbox, then bought it in Blu-ray to include it to my collectable DVD tinbox set.Great story. great actors, and cutting edge on new type of animation. Lots of action and nail biting ending.

This movie is, at times, about as good as video game cutscenes from 2004. The original anime was interesting, if a bit cheesy in parts, but this film is a complete waste of time. The animation is right at the depths of the uncanny valley, and the script is about as well written as the musings of a middleschooler.I avoided watching this for a while because I wanted to be able to sit down and really watch it...I should have avoided it forever.

Compared to the manga this movie is based on, it condenses and cuts a lot of material to allow for a simple plot that can be tackled with the time it has been allotted. The world it presents is interesting but follows through with very little depth.As a completely CGI movie, it has obviously shown signs of age. Some people may find it too distracting but I was able to look past this.This is an average, unremarkable movie.

Please go to youtube people and type in Appleseed OVA , that's the one you want.Don't watch this later abomination of great Japanime.

You can't beat the quality and the effort placed in this movie. The graphics are amazing and so real. I thought some of the scenes were actually real. The characters and action are intense and believable.Summarized story: Revolves around this hardcore elite combat soldier. She kicks butt and takes names. She gets recruited by a special projects division in seemingly peaceful utopia. The plot unfolds where humans and bioroids are coexisting without fear of war in a isolated city, however, significant scheme unravels where the key is our heroine. Mecha combat and realistic fight sequences.

This is another one of few anime umds in my humble collection and I am satisifed with it. The product itself was great with an interesting artwork on the cover and thankfully there wasn't any useless paper that came inside the product. The movie itself was great until the ending which I found a little bit luckluster compared to the rest of the film but whatever. English and Japanese VO are provided which is a good thing but I believe I watched it in English due to the setting of the film.
